TEMPLE CITY – Brandon Newton hit two homers and drove in five runs Saturday, leading the Chino Hills Canyon Hills All-Stars to a 7-6 victory over the Fullerton Golden Hills All-Stars in the third annual Al Millham Memorial Tournament’s championship game at Millham Field.

Canyon Hills pitcher Tim Nelson turned in a complete-game effort.

Golden Hills appeared to have tied the score in the fifth inning when Sean Paquet tripled to left with the bases loaded. Canyon Hills, however, appealed the play by throwing to third and the umpire called an out when one of the Golden Hills runners missed tagging third base.

Nelson secured the victory when he retired Golden Hills in order in the sixth inning.

Kobe Ramirez also hit a solo homer for Canyon Hills.

The Millham Tournament is a supplemental Little League Tournament that featured 12 teams, including squads from Whittier, Arcadia American, West Covina American, Arcadia National, the Temple City All-Stars, the Alhambra All-Stars and host Temple City National.

Covina followed that victory with a 10-2 romp over the Highline (Wash.) Bluesox.
